When you get into the PPS office, you will need to fill out an application form and make sure you tick on the married section and give your wife details there. They might be looking for your marriage certificate, on the safe side keep a copy of it with you.
When your wife join you here, you will need to go to the PPS office again for her PPS number. At that time you can claim each other tax credits, depends how you want to divide the tax credits. If she is not working than you can claim all of the credits and it will help you in tax. If she will be working than you can divide equally or depends what way you want to proceed.
Worse case scenario: If your wife do not join you until the end of 2015 than you can get a letter from your country's revenue office that your wife was not working in 2015 in her home country and you were supporting her financially. Submit this letter along with your P60 to the revenue office and you will get some money back BUT this is only if she do not work for the whole year in your home country.
Any question let me know.
